Healthy Double Chocolate Banana Muffins are a nutritious treat combining the natural sweetness of bananas with rich cocoa powder and dark chocolate. Made with whole wheat flour, honey, and coconut oil, these muffins are perfect for a guilt-free snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or olive oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour for a lighter option)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind, or a non-dairy alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  5. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach the desired consistency.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
